Friday Lunchtime Mass
End your busy week with a moment of peace and reflection in the heart of Belfast City. Join us for Holy Mass at lunchtime:
12.30 – 1.00pm every Friday, in the
Belfast Jesuit Centre, Donegall Street.
Take a break from your busy day, whether you’re a student between classes, or a city worker in need of a midday reset. After Mass, stay for tea / coffee – or even bring your packed lunch – and enjoy a chat with others in a welcoming and comfortable space.
The best way to start your weekend!
Candlelit Mass at St Patrick's, Donegall St. - Sundays @ 6pm
Eucharist means ‘Thanksgiving’, and it is about connecting with the light that is Christ in our lives; it’s a message of hope and joy.
Meditative chant creates a reverent atmosphere in which you can really pray.
This may be the first time you have set foot in a church in a long time and so it is important to know that everyone is welcome.
The invitation is simple: to experience a place of light and peace, with an uplifting message. This is a moment of Christ centred encounter where countless seeds of hope are sown.
Saint Patrick’s is a beautiful and historic church, located in Belfast’s cultural and social heartland, the Cathedral Quarter. Right beside the new Ulster University Belfast campus.
Lectio Divina at the BJC - Tuesdays @ 7.30pm
Our Lectio Divina group is a safe and welcoming space for spiritual reflection and community, focusing on the prayerful reading of Scripture to deepen faith and connection with God. Each session involves 3 prayerful readings of the Gospel for the following Sunday, quiet contemplation, shared insights, and prayer, creating a supportive and enriching atmosphere for all participants. Whether you’re experienced with Lectio Divina or exploring it for the first time, you’re warmly invited to join us
Tea and coffee is served from 7.00pm on Tuesdays at the Belfast Jesuit Centre and Lectio Divina begins at 7.30pm sharp!

Jesuit Centre Zoom Book Club - Wednesdays @ 7pm
Members voted on a variety of suggested titles for our Post-Easter read and “The Tears of Things” by Richard Rohr has been chosen. We’ll begin the book on Wednesday 30th March.
Wednesdays 7.00-8.30pm
Our book club has been on the go for 6+ years but when COVID forced us online, a host of new readers joined the weekly Wednesday night gatherings and we welcomed new members from across Ireland and internationally, so we have continued to meet online ever since.
We choose spiritual reads that support, critique and challenge faith, but especially titles that might keep you up at night.
Members come from a wide range of educational backgrounds, so we value all experience and all reflections.
Usually we choose recent publications: it helps foster the experience of discovery together.
And key to our Wednesday evenings are the discussions in small groups: a chance to say what you really think.
Wednesdays 19.00-20.30
